Replying to: rogeliov (Dec 01, 2008 12:42 am) If the price came down THAT quickly, I'd guess that car wasn't that hot to begin with. A good example would be a 2009 ZR-1 Corvette which has a MSRP of $103K. IF you can find one you could tell the salesperson that you won't pay ADM in which case they could really careless if you bought it or not as someone will. Similarly with a Nissan GT-R.

Replying to: rogeliov (Nov 30, 2008 6:45 pm) OK no problem, I thought you were critisizing my openning pick up line. Actually your line might work. I once managed a catalogue showroom store where people wrote their orders on a piece of paper, then waited for 20 minutes to be told the product was out of stock. I think some people enjoy being abused and actually like being treated like crap, so you might have something there Rogey.

Was watching NBC evening news Sunday and just before there was an ad for GM Impalas at employee cost less $3000. You could get a new Impala regular $23,000 for $14,000!!!!!!! The next commercial was for Ford and you could get a new Ford for employee pricing less $1500 gets you a Ford F150 for undr $24,000> When do they start giving them away?

It's like when someone cuts me off and I lean on the horn mainly to teach him not to do it next time. And my family therapist wife tells me that won't solve the problem, it will only escalate and you don't know who you are dealing with.

Replying to: driver100 (Dec 01, 2008 5:19 am) You sure about that? Does the car come with an engine... that price seems about $3,000 too low. If I can get a new Impala for $14,000 I'll start shopping this afternoon.

Replying to: jipster (Dec 01, 2008 5:41 am) I am positive because I almost fell out of my chair. I think it was a local ad from Buffalo though. I'll see if I can find anything on the net. Don't know about hidden costs either.... Also, are you sure you want an Impala. My brother just rented one for the weekend and he thinks it is pretty lame....a box with wheels. I guess for $14,000 though it wouldn't be bad.

Replying to: driver100 (Dec 01, 2008 5:46 am) Can't say I've taken a really good look at a Impala in awhile. The Impala has always gotten pretty good reviews with the newest generation, good reliability scores. I would look at it as well as the Malibu...as well as about 5 others (Fusion, LaCrosse, Altima, Mazda 6, maybe a Corolla, Civic or Sonata). Someone posted about a week ago that Ford Fusions were going for around $15,500, but that was with a sticker of around $20,000. But, with tuition, new house, summer cruise and a bunch of other stuff my wife wants to buy... the new car may have to wait.

Replying to: driver100 (Dec 01, 2008 5:46 am) Sorry Jip, can't find anything on the web. They did say MSRP was $23,000 and with employee discount less $3000 you could actuaqlly get an Impala for under $14,000. The numbers would be right but I don't see those 2 extras being added in. Unless it isn't on the net yet or there was fine print aI couldn't see on the 50 inch screen. I didn't believe it when I saw it...but I'll try to check the commercial before the news today. |
